PBS anchor Jim Lehrer is a progressive who, as the dean of Presidential Debate moderators, shows open disdain for Republicans and speaks glowingly of Democrats.

Amidst all the pre-spin build up to the first presidential debate between President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney, Lehrer is being overlooked as a key player in tonight's made-for-TV reality show. Make no mistake, the PBS journalist will be just as important to the proceedings as the height of the podiums and the color of the neckties.

Despite the laughable expectations game put forth by the mainstream media that has somehow positioned Mitt Romney as the finest debater since Socrates and Barack Obama as a fledgling dolt barely capable of putting two sentences together, the fact is Obama has an enormous built-in advantage tonight. And that advantage will be sitting at a desk looking up at him the entire ninety minutes.

Why indeed. Is there no way a moderate moderator can be found. Truly I don't care if his name is Joe Doe and no one has ever heard of him. All I want are logical, intelligent questions about the current state of the nation and what can be done to improve things without the nudge, nudge, wink, wink of liberal media “personalities”.

( I still get a thrill up my leg when spell check doesn't recognize the word Obama!)

Why not give Joe Doe a fair chance? I'll bet there are plenty who would jump at the chance! Tired of the same old liberal "personalities".

(Actually, they lie when it suits them! The crooked MS media must be defeated any way it can be done!)
